The care secret that transformed my Allium

I'd had Allium for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to leaving foliage to die back naturally after flowering and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

remarkable energy stored underground for a reliable annual performance became much more pronounced. The plant in a cut flower garden for fresh indoor arrangements now looks like a completely different specimen. summer bulbs like gladiolus and allium extending the season confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. blindness with no flowers produced from weak or immature bulbs has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Allium is underwhelming, look at leaving foliage to die back naturally after flowering first.
